nThe operators of the lightning worms got ready to launch the final discharge. An emergency attack of these worm machines.

nThey use all of the stored energy within them and attack as a final attempt.

nThe final discharge is actually designed to use when there is only ten per cent or so of the full energy capacity. As the operator said, the worms are actually very close to full capacity. They didn't even work for a single day after all.

nIf they really shoot the discharge now, things wouldn't go well for the worm. It will be damaged severely and it might even affect the whole mechanism of this worm.

nThe soul orbs zoomed through the air as they reached the lightning worm that was about to shoot the attack.

nIt is a large energy beam that was formed at the mouth of the worm.

nIn that last second, the souls occupied the lightning worms and the mouth of the worm was closed. It was jammed into the ground.

n

"This sick bastard.

"

nSivan widened his eyes in disbelief. He didn't expect Sam would be fast enough.

n*BOOM*

nThe worms exploded and there are large craters formed in different directions. The lightning worms were destroyed completely. The people that are inside are also dead.

nSivan is burning in rage as he looked at the list of equipment he has on hand. He wants to use something else.

nHe desperately wants to get back at Sam.

nBut all of a sudden he remembered something. The Lava worms.

nThere are many more than just the four. And Sam only used four until now.

nThe rest didn't make an appearance yet. He took out his communication token to try and contact them, but he couldn't.

nThe connection was cut off. He called one of his subordinates and said.

n

"I want you to find out the locations of the rest of the Lava worms. Stay on it, until you get a hit.

"

n

"Yes, sir.

"

nAfter he ordered that, he once again focused on the battlefield. Currently, Sam has a few hundred lightning golems under his control. Even though the lightning worms are destroyed that means, when these golems are destroyed, they are not going to be regenerated again.

nSince Sam is controlling them with the souls, he managed to keep them intact and moving.

nThe lightning golems are not really moving forward, they are just standing far away from the Sivan's camp. They stood in between the city and camp.

nAvlyn who is watching the whole thing frowned. She went to meet Cray, the person who recognized the soul network and asked.

n

"Can you deal with this soul network?

"

n

"I don't know. I don't have much experience in operating one and even less in countering one. As for creating one? That is way beyond anything that I could do.

nOn top of that, this is not a regular network.

"

n

"Can you at least try? See if you can connect to it and counter the other party.

"

n

"Why are you so anxious all of a sudden. We are here to fight for the real battles. These small skirmishes are not going to make any difference at all.

"

n

"I doubt that. Have you seen the explosions of those creatures? Even I am not sure if I would be able to escape unscathed if I was caught off guard.

nWe need to neutralize the person that is causing all of this.

"

n

"I will try.

"

n

"Please do. He is just out for a few hours and he has already did this much. I wonder what he will be doing later.

"

nAs they are speaking, all of a sudden, Gail and Gamin came out of the clan's city.

nThey are standing outside of the gate and the dome. They stood straight and looked straight at the camp.

n

"What are they doing there?

"

nAvlyn muttered to herself with a frown. She didn't expect that Gail and Gamin would make an appearance this soon.

nAt this moment, the dome opened up a bit and over a hundred undead creatures came out of the Gaja city.

nThey are wearing a set of armour and weapons. They all walked in an orderly manner and all of their walks is the same. They are also being controlled by Sam.

nThey joined in the ranks of the golems and now both the golems and the undead formed an orderly battle formation as they slowly moved forward.

n

"So, that is why they are here.

"

nAvlyn muttered in understanding. Sivan looked at the situation and frowned. He also understood why the other powerhouses are outside.

nThey are deterring the powerhouses of Sivan's camp. Now the golems and undead are moving out, Sivan's camp obviously has to send a response.

nHe initially just wanted to send a grand elder to finish it off in one blow. But now he cannot.

nIf the grand elders made a move, the other party will also make a move and no grand elder is daring enough to face Gail and Gamin.

nAs for directly attacking in a group and finishing off the battle, nobody wants to do that. Nobody knows if the Gaja clan has a contingency for escape.

nThis battle is not just about winning and losing after all. It is a battle for extermination. If the powerhouse clash and the situation doesn't favour the Gaja clan, they might just leave.

nThey cannot just rush to the final course. They need to wear down the Gaja clan while they still have hope and by the time they lose hope, the Mari clan should destroy their source and means of escape and keep them here.

nSivan thought for a moment and looked at Divine league members.

n

"We are not moving yet. It is going to take more time.

" Avlyn directly said it.

n

"When exactly?

"

n

"When we find the right moment. When the war is in a really tight situation.

"

nSivan just looked at her calmly before moving to the side.

n

"Send the earth armour unit. They have the best defence. Tell them to take their time and deal with them slowly. They don't need to rush.

"

nSivan said and the subordinates immediately sent the orders. A hundred soldiers who are in Astral Plane transcendence level moved out wearing bulky earth armours and heavy weapons. Most of them are carrying battle-axes, war hammers and Heavy maces.

nThey slowly moved forward in their own formation.

nThe golems and undead creatures are not really that strong. The aura the strongest undead is giving off is at the middle stage of the transcendent stage, which is not that high, to begin with when compared to this whole situation of the war.

nWhile both parties are slowly advancing toward each other, within the Mari clan's camp people are trying their best to heal the people that got hit by the previous cannonball attacks.

nThe cannonball attacks are made with golems and those golems are made with soil full of cursed blood of the undead creatures.

nThe curses are actually dropped there by Sivan himself.

nNow he is suffering the consequences of his own actions.

nHis healers are trying to remove the curses on the few people as fast as they can. Luckily these curses are mostly just causing pain and suffering.

nInstead of killing them which might have been what the soldiers preferred anyway.

nSoon, the earth armour unit and the undead creatures plus golems clashed.

nThe undead creatures and golems are of course high in numbers compared to the earth armour unit, but the earth armour unit has strength in terms of quality. They are real cultivators and they also have high-quality armour and weapons that are actually made with Sam's designs.

nWhile things are like that, Sivan ordered some of his subordinates to assist the armour unit.

nFive energy beam cannons were mounted at the entrance of the camp and they aimed at the battlefield.

nThey are also using earth elemental energy beams and they started shooting at the undead creatures and golems.

nThe battle started and it got heated very soon.

nThe undead creatures golems moved in a very orderly fashion.

nEven though they are all separate entities, they moved like they are all part of one creature. Like fingers of a hand.

nIt is the work of the soul network Sam established.

nSix golems and one undead creature teamed up together as they fought each of the armoured unit members.

nWhile the battle is going on outside, inside the camp, Avlyn and Cray didn't even stay to spectate.

nInstead, they took up a solitary tent and inside, Cray created an inscribed formation. Even for him, it took over forty-five minutes to draw it and after he did that, he took out some formation flags that are specially designed for specific rituals and placed them at different spots within the inscribed formation.

nAfter the whole set-up was complete, he sat in the middle along with the crystal jar as Avlyn spectated.

nThe Jar slowly opened itself as Cray silently sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. The soul orb that came out immediately wanted to get back to Sam, but instead, it got trapped in the formation.
